We make strong steel that lasts, offering North America the comfort of a secure steel supply. Based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Algoma is a producer of hot and cold rolled steel sheet and plate products. With a raw steel production capacity of an estimated 2.8 million tons per year, Algoma`s diverse capabilities enable us to deliver customer-driven product solutions straight from the ladle to direct applications in the automotive, construction, energy, defense, and manufacturing sectors. Algoma is a key supplier to customers across North America and is the only producer of plate steel products in Canada.

Algoma is on a transformational journey, modernizing our plate mill and adopting electric arc technology that builds on the strong principles of recycling and environmental stewardship, to significantly lower carbon emissions. We are a founding industry and the largest employer in our community. We want the benefits of our steel to endure for generations. We are working safely, as a team to become one of North America`s leading producers of green steel, drawing on the best of our rich steelmaking tradition to deliver greater value to our people, customers, investors, communities, and the world around us.
